2012-09-07 Brewers (Gallardo) at Cardinals (Lohse), 7:15 PM CDT [Brewers win, 5-4, 13 innings, at about bar time]

Learn a new position, Mat G. Helps to have a RF arm at first I guess.

[PrinceEatMeat]

Wow. There's 'slow', and then there's Martin Maldonado.

 

He was out mainly because he didn't start running until the ball hit the wall and didn't go out. He thought it was a HR. But still slow.

[AZBrewCrew]

Well this will likely be the 4th walkoff of the night.

[PrinceEatMeat]

If the Cards win it here, I'll look back and wonder why I didn't just go to sleep. I might do that anyway though depending on how long this game goes.

[AZBrewCrew]

Nevermind. We play on

[pebadger]

That was . . . . unlikely.

[pitchleague]

Nice job by Loe.

 

Corey Hart with some nice defense as well.

[Mass Haas]

2:25 AM here in the East.

 

18 of us in this forum now.

 

Cheers!

 

On to the 12th...

 

Are there curfew rules in play here, MLB?

[tdeggie]

Mass Hass ... great question! I was thinking the same thing. Anyone have an idea?

[rluzinski]

O damn.

[sdcheezhd]

Is this the latest the Brewers have played since the cheese sandwich game?

[AZBrewCrew]

We got a break there

[rluzinski]

Not getting rung up on an 0-2 pitch with 1 out is not a huge break.

[AZBrewCrew]

Juuuust a bit outside

[Nottso]

I'm approaching 21 hours without sleep which is quite a feat for me so far removed from college, a nd yet the stark terror induced by the pen has me wide awake. Odd thing is, it gets worse when they lead. Please win this thing, Crew. Soon.

 

I'm in hour number 44 and don't want to be. Anyways...

 

I'm "watching" on Gameday so as not to wake the wife and I'm wondering how on Earth the person that is updating it knows what the pitches are. 2 seam, 4 seam, sinker, slider, bla bla bla. I know there's a slight delay, so do they do a slow-mo replay of each pitch before they update it or something along those lines?

[tdeggie]

According to Rock, no curfew the game will go on til there is a winner

[sdcheezhd]

I think both leagues have gotten rid of their curfews. St. Louis could have a municipal curfew but I doubt it.

[rluzinski]

Multiple cameras triangulate pitch location. Called pitch f/x.

[AZBrewCrew]

Nice DP! We can finish this game anytime now

[MNBrew]

Following on Gameday. Does Kintzler have any command at all? Also, both the ball 4's so far in the 12th were right on the edge of the zone, not off it, according to Gameday, however correct that is...

[pebadger]

Well this is setting up to be either extremely satisfying or extremely disappointing. Stay up with us 'till 0500 to find out which!

[BrewerTerp]

wow. who are these guys out of the bullpen stranding runners? i've never heard of such a concept.

[Mass Haas]

Grilled cheese with carmelized apples -- on to the 13th!

[pitchleague]

yup, I'm ready for bed. Put some runs up on the board, Crew.

[Nottso]

I get how they do the location. I'm wondering about the recognition, or do the cameras somehow do that as well?
